Fibre Channel LEDs
Fibre Channel Port LEDs
Fibre Channel Port LEDs are adjacent to each Fibre Channel port. They indicate port status and activity.
Each port has a one bi-color, green/yellow, LED to indicate port status. When you enable a Fibre Channel
interface module, and a Fibre Channel device is already connected, the run light (LED) of the Fibre
Channel interface port changes from yellow to green, indicating that a connection has been established
between the Fibre Channel device and the port.
